Chapter 282 Song Qi
After Zhao Xin and the others made a decision, they immediately notified Ye Ye and implored Ye Ye to flee with them. Ye Ye did not refuse, and asked them to prepare to enter the Tower of Babel and follow Ye Ye and the others to the Ten Thousand Souls Continent.
On the other side, the army surrounded by the Canglang royal family in the southwest was advancing rapidly, and the Hanging Mountain of the Heavenly Dao Academy was also slowly advancing towards the Mausoleum City. The news that the two sides were preparing to destroy the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce had already spread throughout the Canglang Dynasty, and the residents of the Thirteen Cities in the Southwest naturally felt anxious, and almost all of them planned to leave the Southwest and flee to other parts of the Canglang Dynasty.
Although these people knew very well that the imperial army was in front of them, the price of forcing their way into the encirclement would be extremely heavy. But no one wants to stay and die, so even if the road ahead is dangerous, those with a strong will to survive still desperately make their way to the southwestern edge.
The vast army of escapees sometimes converged and sometimes scattered, and even though the destinations were different, they all wanted to escape the confines of the southwest as quickly as possible. On their way to escape, all kinds of accidents were inevitable, and many people stopped forever because of the difficulties on the way before they reached the southwest edge.
Song Qi's escape was not smooth, and on the way from Lingcheng to the southwest edge, she had been separated from her companions due to the crowd. With little food and coils left, and she's only a woman, it's even less likely that a person will make it to the southwestern edge.
As the daughter of the Song family in Lucheng, a city on the edge of the southwest, Song Qi could have enjoyed her glory and wealth in Lucheng peacefully. However, in order to help the family expand their business, Song Qi traveled thousands of miles from Lucheng to Lingcheng to establish Piaoxiang Building, which made the fine wine brewed by the Song family famous throughout the southwest.
When the news of the Heavenly Dao Academy and the Canglang Royal Family besieging the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce came out, everyone desperately fled to the southwest, and Song Qi also took the men from Piaoxianglou to Lucheng on the southwest edge together, preparing to return to Lucheng to meet his family and then flee from the southwest.
But before they were halfway through the journey, a deacon of Piaoxianglou betrayed Song Qi with his men and swept away all the belongings of the group. Then the other guys also left Song Qi one after another, and to this day, only Song Qi is still struggling towards Lucheng.
At this time, Song Qi, who had experienced hardships, was dirty, and she looked like she was running Piaoxiang Building in Lingcheng, but her eyes still flashed with determination, and she never gave up the idea of returning to Lucheng to join her family. Although people in the entire southwest region are now trying to escape from the southwest as soon as possible, Song Qi believes that her parents will definitely be waiting to meet her in Lucheng.
If she hadn't seen Song Qi return to Lucheng safely, her parents would not have left her and fled the southwest alone. Therefore, in order to get himself out of danger as soon as possible, and to save the lives of their family, Song Qi has always insisted on moving towards Lucheng no matter how big the difficulties are, and his footsteps will never stop for any reason.
"This girl, do you also plan to escape from the southwest through Lucheng? Our group of people have similar escape routes, if the girl doesn't mind, you might as well go with us, and you can take care of you along the way!"
In the vast procession of escapes, strangers with similar routes often travel in groups to help each other through difficult times. Liu Xiang and the others, who had seen Song Qi's figure for several days, guessed that Song Qi also planned to move in the direction of Lucheng, so they took the initiative to come to Song Qi and invite her.
Liu Xiang is a middle-aged man with a mediocre appearance, who looks quite honest. But he was able to send an invitation to Song Qi on behalf of this group of people, and it was obvious that there were already some in the group
Prestige.
Song Qi saw that there were quite a few of them, and all men, women, and children were listed, and the vigilance in his heart decreased a lot. Considering that there were indeed many inconveniences in moving forward alone, Song Qi nodded and replied to Liu Xiang: "Thank you Your Excellency for the invitation, the little girl is indeed planning to return to the royal capital through Lucheng." It's just that because he was separated from his companions on the way, he had to continue on the road alone. Since we are on a similar route, the little woman is more disturbed!"
Because of the many hardships he experienced on the way to escape, Song Qi was unwilling to trust others easily, so he did not report his real name and origin, but gave himself a virtual identity. She knew that even if a group of people walked together, there was still a gap in the treatment of people with different statuses, so she lied that she was from the royal capital, wanting to attract the attention of Liu Xiang and others.
Liu Xiang saw that although Song Qi was a little embarrassed on the outside, but his conversation was quite extraordinary, not like an ordinary person's family, at this time, when he heard that Song Qi planned to return to the royal capital, his face immediately showed a look of surprise, and he said politely to Song Qi: "Oh? I didn't expect the girl to be a person from the royal capital, and it was rude to be rude! This time the southwest suffered a catastrophe, and the most injured are us ordinary people, in order to get through the difficulties smoothly, we should support each other and take care of each other." ”
Not only Liu Xiang, but the other people next to them also stepped forward to greet Song Qi politely after hearing that Song Qi was from the royal capital, as if they wanted to have a good relationship with her.
"Rest assured, as long as the little woman successfully returns to the royal capital, she will not forget your kindness today. It's not too early, so let's keep going, so as not to delay the escape!"
Song Qi politely returned the salute with everyone who came up to set up a suit, and only when he saw that the time was not too early did he urge everyone to continue on the road.
After the middle-aged man Liu Xiang looked at Song Qi carefully, he seemed to see something. But as if he hadn't found anything, he continued to enthusiastically echo Song Qi and said to everyone: "Miss Xu Zhen is right, it's not too early. We'd better hurry as soon as possible, lest we be blocked by the dynastic army and unable to escape!"
"Yes, yes, it's important to hurry!"
"It's still a long way from here to Lucheng, we have to speed up!"
"Be sure to escape before the dynastic army blockades the southwest!"
After hearing Liu Xiang's words, everyone finally stopped surrounding Song Qi, and everyone continued to hurry with a look on their faces. However, Song Qi's caution was not in vain, after attracting the attention of this group of people, she successfully penetrated the core of this group of people, and was surrounded by a large army and slowly moved forward.
Although Liu Xiang saw through Song Qi's lies, he did not debunk her. Because the purpose of organizing everyone to accompany him was only to let them act as cannon fodder in times of crisis, no matter whether Song Qi was from the royal capital as she said or not, it would not have any impact on Liu Xiang's plan.
In this way, everyone embarked on the road of escape together, and as time passed, the number of this group also increased, and the momentum gradually grew.
Just when Song Qi took it for granted that her safety was guaranteed and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, a sudden blow instantly made her fall to the bottom again.
"Ahh
"What's wrong? So noisy?"
"Run, the robbers are coming!"
On the second night of the second day of marching towards Lucheng with Liu Xiang and others, Song Qi had just set up camp and was about to rest, when there was a commotion
The hustle and bustle suddenly reached her ears.
Song Qi hurriedly walked out of the tent and saw the firelight flickering, and the bandits on tall horses were rushing back and forth unscrupulously, destroying their camp to a mess.
"Brothers, let go of the kill!"
"Haha, it's been a long time since I've encountered such a large escape team!"
"Kill, rob them all!"
A bald man led dozens of bandits on horseback to burn and loot in the camp with impunity, his face full of terrifying hideousness and cruelty. They seem to have been planning for tonight's action for a long time, and as soon as they appeared, they worked together to kill the only few strong martial artists in the fleeing team, and the cruelty of the methods was too cruel to look at.
Not only that, after killing the strong martial artist and robbing everyone's property, this group of bandits seemed to be red-eyed, and they actually attacked the unarmed civilians in a frenzy.
"Don't!"
"Spare me, I'll give you all these things!"
"Help!"
The companion who was talking and laughing with Song Qi before became a corpse under the brutal killing of the bandits in the blink of an eye, and Song Qi's face became extremely pale when he saw this scene, and he almost couldn't help but vomit.
Although she has experienced a lot of hardships along the way, she has never seen such a cruel and bloody scene, and her mind instantly became blank, as if she had been stupid.
Just when a bandit rushed in front of Song Qi and was about to slash at Song Qi, who was full of sluggish faces, a young man who looked less than twenty suddenly appeared, came to Song Qi and kicked the bandit directly away.
Bang!
The bandits and horses kicked by the young man rushed into the air and smashed to the ground, attracting the attention of everyone in the camp. Some clever people took advantage of this opportunity to turn around and flee, and managed to disappear from their sight before the bandits could react.
The bald man who appeared with this group of bandits ignored the fleeing people, but angrily dismounted and walked out of the crowd, came to the young man and shouted angrily: "Sun Hua, do you kid want to rebel?"
"Didn't you say before that you should only seek money and not kill yourself? Why don't you keep your promise?"
The young man Sun Hua was even more angry than the bald man Cao Yun, and his eyes were full of murderous intent when he looked at Cao Yun and his subordinates behind him, as if he was on the verge of an outburst.
As a member of the Jade Leaf Chamber of Commerce who defected, Sun Hua did not have the courage to sacrifice himself for the sake of the sect, but at least he still had the basic principles of being a man. Even if Cao Yun and others had inadvertently saved Sun Hua's life and let him temporarily join Sun Hua when he was cornered, Sun Hua would not lower his bottom line for them.
robbed Song Qi and his gang this time, Cao Yun promised Sun Hua that they only wanted money and would not kill them, so Sun Hua was willing to spy on intelligence for them, and made a careful plan to catch Song Qi and others off guard. However, Sun Hua didn't expect that as soon as Cao Yun and the others entered the camp, they immediately forgot all their previous promises, not only robbed Song Qi and the others of all their belongings, but also planned to kill them to death.
Sun Hua was furious and didn't care about anything else, and directly hit the bandit who was about to kill Song Qi, causing the other party to die directly after flying upside down and falling to the ground, and never got back up. ()
